2019, international year of indigenous languages

Issued as part of the International Year of Indigenous Languages ​​(2019) declared by UNESCO, this stamp displays a strong symbolic aesthetic. The visual integrates geometric patterns and handprints evoking Tunisia's Berber (Amazigh) roots and rock heritage. This choice underlines the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity in Tunisian identity. It is a tribute to oral transmission and ancestral knowledge which constitute the basis of the collective memory of indigenous peoples throughout the millennia.
